Charles "Chuck" McClenning is a self taught artist that has been crafting his whole life, finding his passion in paperclay sculpting. He loves being a trendsetter at the Festival of Trees in Davenport, IA, which is a major fundraiser for the Arts in the Quad Cities area and a top ten show in the nation. Charles has won 30 ribbons for his designs throughout the years and has been featured in four national magazines! However, it's not the accolades that keeps his art so fresh and fun, it's his passion for the arts that you can clearly see in each of his amazing designs. Through hard work and perseverance, Charles has created a fantastic collection of holiday decor figures, earning a rightful place in the pantheon of amazing folk artists. We are thrilled to count his work among the folk art that we carry here at Traditions!
